As part of the Geary Rapid Project, work to replace aging water lines, in coordination with San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, continues. Surface improvements, including upgraded traffic signals and streetlights, sidewalk extensions at bus stops and intersection corners, improved median refuges and roadway repaving, are also underway and are being managed by San Francisco Public Works. 

Geary Rapid Project construction is currently scheduled to continue during the shelter in place order, with crews observing social distancing requirements and a safe working environment. The following two-week construction forecast is subject to change due to weather delays or unexpected field conditions.

  • Minor sewer work is planned for the weeks of October 26 and November 2 at the intersections of Fillmore Street, Buchanan Street, Laguna Street and Cleary Court.
  • Concrete roadway base work is planned for the weeks of October 26 and November 2 on Geary Boulevard from Steiner to Webster streets and from Gough to Franklin streets

Mondays through Fridays between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.:

  • Water main work is planned for the weeks of October 26 and November 2 on Geary Street between Hyde and Jones streets (service connections) and between Taylor and Kearny streets (services connections and main pipe installation and testing).
    • Water service to some properties may be briefly shut off while SFPUC connects to the new water main on Geary. SFPUC will notify properties in advance of any service interruption. To minimize disruption, work is sometimes conducted at night.

Some parking will be temporarily restricted in construction zones and traffic lanes will be modified during active work. There may be brief vibrations during sidewalk and roadway excavation.
